The check engine light (service engine soon) comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle. Generally, the problem is in the emissions or something that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions, but other causes can trigger the light to come on, too. To determine the cause, the vehicle will need to be taken to a parts store or a shop that has an OBD2 scanner, or for 1995 and earlier models, an OBD1 scanner, While a scanner will not give you the magic answer, it will give you a code that narrows down the problem area.

Would overflow of antifreeze and engine coolant make engine smoke and smell like burning?
Yes, an overflow of antifreeze or engine coolant can cause smoke and a burning smell if it spills onto hot engine components. When coolant leaks onto the engine, it can vaporize and produce smoke. Additionally, the coolant can burn, creating a sweet, acrid odor. It's important to address any coolant overflow promptly to prevent engine damage and ensure safe operation.
Why would it over throw water when it starts the engine?
Bad head gasket and/or cracked head.
